RUSSIA AND PERSIA. Perhaps the following extract of a letter from the seat of war between Russia aid Persia, may 'proye in teresting to some of your re p . aders, firtienitkil as I can 'sledge myself i:or the urnsac of its details, as they proceed from the pen, 01 orte who hae the best possible opportunities of 04stiling correct information, and •esho is perfectly without prejudice on the subject Matsui., Ato, 22, 1820.—You will trot be a, little astonished t' i learn that Persia has declared War against 11.118 Sig, ar,cl in the last twenty days (which includes the whole time that hostilities have lasted), has driven the 'Russians to the gates, of 'Nibs, expelled them from Talish, the. Island of Salian, Chmja, Shirwan, and all Karabang, except the fortress of Sheesha, which has been invested for ten days, and is already treating fora surrender. We all thought that Persia's doom waraxed the moment she declared war on Russia; now we find her driving that power before ber, without any apparent resistance on the part of Russia, whose bad Government has driven all the Mahometan inhabitants in this part of her dominions into open rebellion, and her own soldiers to desertion, when ever, an ^opportunity call be found— " The Russians, from the moment of their gaining pos ;session of Georgia,and the countries south of the Caucasus, 'have made it their object uniformly to drive out the native Chiefs, who bad submitted to them. Seine, as the Royal Family of Georgia —were sent to Russia on pensions; and this has also been the case with some of the Mahometan Chiefs, who had served them with the greatest fidelity. Others, as Mustapha Khan, of SheerWan ' Mehdi Khan, of Karabang, &c. inside their escape into Persia. Every One of these had tuipitulated to Russia on certain terms, not one article of 'which had been observed, arid the Cornmand ants, atatiOned in all these provitrecs, maltreated the inba bitante at their pleasure; it was not extraordinery, there fore, that these people should be ripe for revolt. The :numerous complaints, too, that reached the heads of the Mahometan religion in Persia and Arabia, every day from these countries, excited a strong feeling; and the King, at last, was obliged to pledge himself to declare war against the Russians, in case they refused to restore 'eertitin tMtling places claimed on the frontier of Eri van, by ikersca(Paluckloo, and the Gummy of Goukcka). Prince MftekOff declared his inability to do so without orders from his Court., to which he promised to make reference; but this was re- fused, and Abbas Ilioerstenterod Karubang about the 27th of s l iuly. " The Russian Officer's had taken no precautions apaiaat an enemy they had always so witch despised; the guard at the bridge of Khuda-aiderine (over the river Arras), when attacked, had not time to remove a few sticks which bad been thrown over the broken arches, for the convenience of caravans; and on it the Persian army crossed the river. The Russian officer commanding in Karabang slowly awoke from sleep, and :ordered his dispersed forces to assemlle; hut it was toe late, the. Persian cavalry intereepted them,: and, after it trilling resistance, 1100 men (and four guns) . were wounded, or taken. The prisoners, amounted to seven hundred and eighty, among whom were, a Colonel, two Majors, and ten Officers, The Russiaes now ad. 'itunced agaiOst Sheeska, and, on the 3d of August, learned that the garrison of Gaugo had been destroyed by the in;;' habitants, who had gained posseSsion of the fortress by treachery. It was instantly occupied by :3,000 Persians, and this secures their future operations against Tellis. " The circumstances of this exploit are worth relating. The garrison consisted of from 1000 to 'llOO Men, and the 14"te" was considered perfectly sufficient. to resist any attack of the Persians, even had the garrison been much smaller. The Commandant, being Ordered to detach what ever assistance he could spare to the force in Pembeek '(on the Eqvan fronti e r), h e sent to the prineipal Meho (newt inhabit an t s o f. t h e place, and irtaiateil on their swear , aria to be faithful to Russia on the Koran, They objected to this, with out previottAy consulting their 11 , „1.0ollah (Priest); and 'demanded sites, te do so. The Moollah re • commend e d them not to hesitate, as such an oath would not be binding tows'ols infidels; so they took it. The Cormittrittaiit c: , iteti on the Meolloh,' tuuli.told him that tieing Satisfied of his fidelity, he was about to confide the Cale 'ef the hides to Itim,..witit a:garrison of three him dred men; he himself marched with the remainder towards Erivan. The Mahomedans being freely admitted into the fort, distributed spirits and provisions among the Russians, :Who, thus thrown off their guard, became an easy, prey, and were destroyed to n matt without any disturban ce . Th. Mahom e d ans t h en followed the rest of the Russians; and the Moollab, with two 'or three Chiefs, going into the Commanding Officer's tent, informed him that they had received certain information of an intended insurrection their, men followed •in ." small parties, end mingling with the ltussialls, who had no sires trieitnr, fell' on them suddenly, sword in hand, and put the greater part to death., Thus fell this important - fortress, by the reoet blameable neglect Of every preeautien. Sheerwen instantly rose, and destroyed the few Russians in that province; and General Yermalolf, by rcmaining,as he does, on the defensive, Will render .the revolt still more general; should it be followed bY that of Georgia, be is lost, with ell his army, sthich is three times as surnerous as that with which his predpeessor conquered and maintained the Provinces now in danger, when the French were at Moscow. Sorely these are not the same men who won Georgia.? Though Persia may have a formidable attack to sustain next year, such is the hafattrated polity of Russia with regard to these provinces, and so great the adVaatages she has so weakly lost, that the contest will at least, in all probability, be more obstinate and tedious than before. t cannot but advert to the infamous conduct of the King, in ordering the Ituisian Ambassador to be arrested and confined titlrivan, where he still is., It is.needless to repeat the pretences On Which this step was. taken ; it-was certainly la direct. vielation of his word, most solemnly griven, and of every principle. of international good faith. Equally barbarous and more disgusting, was the display of minarets of Ruasi an h ea d s , and the cruel order to sell the Russian prisoners as slaves this is, however, true, and such conduct must, doubtless; putsit out of the . poWer of Great Britain to interest herself in f asr i tir o f Petite, should she require assistance hi &time: In fact, no Minister is safe, and I think we should all make our escape as soon as possible."

SPIRIT OP Tilt PUBLIC JOURNALS. Amidst - tfae overhtiling of abuses which, by their gross and intolerable oppression, recommend thernielVea: most strongly to a severe visitation from Parliament; iv'e de*eutly hope that the necessity of qualifying', or rather snper4ding, the present system of licensing public-honith Will net be altogether fingetten. The prettlee, as it exists, has been long and loudlywn nre forced to add, likewise, fruitlessly —exclainmd against; but the evidences of its vicious cha racter have become of late sknetOriMis,,that it is diflietilt to look at them and refrain eximstulating in thdmost earnest manner with the legislativ e body on its tolerance of such a grievous wrong. Our present purpose is not imtnediately with the monopoly of the breivers, exercised over the country through the mediuth of.their vassal pub lic.ans—that is to se.y ) ft h hot' against a monopoly of the sale of porter, Constituting a question between the brewer and the consumer, that we should wish, tO direct the fiel 7 ings of ParliatnentsO againSt that horrible pe culiarity, in the system of granting licences to publicans, which Wilds the monopoly on the discretion of indivi- duals rather than on the law of the , land. It is net that a licensed houSe should be the only hou*c that a weary traveller 'elin buy e' glass of beer, that beer coming from the only strop at which the publican dares to purchase it— but it is that in the licensing or not licensing a house the plainest suggestions of justice and fair-dealing'may be violated, and the meanest and most malignant feelings in dulged with absolute impimity. The talk of a motion for a criminal info r mati o n agaltist the Rev. Mr. Lacy, of Tring, in Hertfordshire, Was reported in this journal of Saturday , lust, but has just been pointed out to ou r mor e part i cu l ar attention. the grounds of the moti on wer e, i n brief— that the Rer. Gentleman (a Magistrate of the county) had, from corrupt motives, influenced other Magistrates to refuse a license to a public-house in Tring—the oldest licensed house in. the place--which had bean Snell for 40 years, and always kept by members of the same family with the person petitioning Edit a renewal of the license last September, go tine Complaint for misconduct of any de scription having . ever been made against him or his prede cesters in the business. The Court refused the rule, ad mitting the case stated to be one of suspicions" bUt as it was not a prima facie ease of positive guilt, the Learned Judges Would not take it from the natural jurisdiction of the Grand Jury. Now we have seen affidavits of the aggrieved parties, and we do affirm, that a case more pre-- mutt, we will not say with proof (since the case is still undecided) ' but with ir resist ibl e susp i c i on , aga i nst the Rev. defendant, never yet. mine under our cognizance. The Rev. gentleman 'had himself, in September, .1825, been one of the Magistrates, it is sworn, who licensed 'this very house. He saw it under a thorough repair last win ter, and expressed his sa ti s f act i on at the prospect of a pub lic-house so creditable to the, town of Tring being com pleted. A few months after he quiwrelled with Mr. Kay, a man of fortune in the neighbourhood, who was pro prietor of the same old licensed house—because he, Mr. Kay, would not consent that the costs of a litiga tion in which the reverend defendant had been con cerned, should be defreyed out of the purse of the parishioners. And in the event, it appears, that on the meeting of the Magistrates lait September., at Berk hamstead, to license the publicans of Tring for the presient year, a majority of the Magistrates (being three to two), of which Mr. Lacy was one, usd which every circumstance goes to prove that the others acted upon his representa tions, refused to license this old and reputable house, kept by an individual whom all the most respectable inhabitants of the town joined in repeatedly recommending by their siguatures, as a correct and irreproachable character; one of the magistrates who hod voted With Mr. Lacy declaring afterwerds that he, in his first vote, had been misled by false representations. Such is the case its; it appeared in the affidavits. But it is the power of oppression, which the' law tints vests in hands not incapable of employing it, that alone deserVes any serious Haiku from the people. We aver that no,suelt power ought to h e d e po s i te d w i t h any individual by the Legislature of a free country— . -that it t . is an arbitrary pow e r over t h e r i g h ts of property intrusted to caprice, partiality, or. private vengenneethat mono poly, a grave abuse in itself, is a feather compared with the above ignoble despotisnt—and that if the Parliament shall turn away from such instances of magisterial miscon duct, it May at one proclaim to the country that there is no civil grievance worthy of redreiS.---Tinws. A Paris letter, it will be seen, speaks of an arrangement according to which the independence of Greece is to be secured, by the mediation and nnder the guarantee °tithe great European Sovereigns. At any other time we shotilit have looked. with suspicion to the interference of such per sonages in - the cause ot liberty : but after the Bealldltkillb manner in which the Greeks have been plundered by a gang of humble knaves hi this country, we do not know why that injured and unhappy people should not seek re fuge in Royal Protectors. May the monerof which they have been robbed bring a curse upon those who possess it ! May no Englishman ever repeat their names but with a shud der ! May the plunder, if it shall descend by testament or bequest to the disgraced offspring or relatives of those who now hold it from warriors fighting for freedom, corrupt all the other property which they shall bequeath or devise ! It Was the comfort of the poor Vicar of Wakefield, when 'surrounded by the horrors of u gaol, to reflect on that text of Scripture-.-cc I have been young, and now run old ; and yet saw I never the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging their bread." May the seed of those who have plundered the Greeks, and retain the unholy prey ) , " beg their bread ;" and may each of them find in every bosom at which he would knock, a heart as callous as that of the supplicent's own father ! We publish a letter transmitted to 'tts froM Signor Orlando, at Marseilles. It makes nothing, as he of course Willa 1111 thIrili$11d, for Ida case. The British public will not be guided in their de. eision by that of Signor I —1`.1111(.0'S superiors 41 Greece. We are nearer the seene'of action, and know the circum stances more perfectly than 'ever they can be known by those to Whom Signor Orlando appeals.--Ibid. The retirement bf Mr.' Brogden froM the Chair of the Committees of the While of Commons whether it, i n th e result, becomes temporary or perpetual, is, we think, as far as it goes, an event creditable to all parties. On the part of, the Honourable Gentleman himself, it shows i disposition to concede, to public opinion, while it relieves both Ministers and the House itself from a dilemma which might, have been either of very painful or very questionable solution. What astonishes tia,' however, and detracts from the merit we are speaking of, is that Mr. Brogden should attribute his misfortune to the Press. He has been the victim, forsooth, of clamour ; and the vile, the abomina ble Press is the scapeagoat, which on this, as on a thou sand occasions equally groundless, is to bear the whole weight of robbing Mr. Brogtleta .of his peace of mind ' , and the House of Commons, for a time at least, of his valuable services ! The Press,we suspect, however, may reply to Mr. Brogden ie memorable words of Junius to Sir William ,Draper ; and tell him " if ' his bed be a bed ,of torture , he has made it for himself." Mr.' lirogden Was once a Whig. lie may be so still for ought we know.. His antipathy to the Preis* would lead us to sup pose he still is. But we would ask Mr. Binder' whether it was the Press that made him the Director of so meny Companies'? W a s it the - Press that induced him to Join so many Bubbles - " light as air ?" Was it the Press that swiped to Mr. Brogden a share in one of the grossest frailds ever committed; but of which we readily admit be mu t have been unconscious, and was no otherwise a party otner ? to, thin by accepting a sum of money in one shape, and ali4 Warning the übr • , zinposing, without inquiry , that it came to him in et 34 We hoe' bad probably as much to do in exposing of the bubble roanle againfit the doing so, as any part of the. Press ; but in oing so, we have never cared one fartlfing c , ll . o 7 r t n e t r e Y d a d n le d d d o e n lu e i j i : fur- Cher than their nanies 3.3 4 31 Y with Air.

So far f roin , kciing oy thing even like prejudice towards Mr. Brogden or Ray one else, we should be most happy to see him and every other man so situated come out of the inquiries connected with these, bubbles pure and unsullied. The first step towards doing so je for each man; be' be Director , . Chainititf, Auditor, Solkitur, Bttiveyor, Secret ar y, or ;hat hot, to disgorge his own gains.

But will the House of Commons stop here? Is Mr. Bregden to be the Only person Whom its justice will reach ? We are bound to say; that should that be so, then that gentlemen, and the biiih have reason to complain. We trust that Mr. Waitlunan will not b e d e t erre d from bring ing the, whole matter, and all its honourable supporters be fore the House. Let it be seen w h o i t i s t h at h as b een concocting and profiting by these vile trends. And we are widely mistaken if the result does hot phii.e, that the late Chairman of the Co mm i ttee of W ays an d M eans is fur, very far indeed, from deserving the greatest share of reprobation, or being visited with the severest conse quences; but that there are those who used their names and influence as Mettibers of the last Parliatnent,lor no other purpose but to enrich themselves at the expence of the confiding credulity of those whose property it was their duty to have protected, Instead of plundered. For our selves, as part of the Press, we can only say, that we shall notbe deterred from continui ng fearlessly to lend our aid in deVeloeing and unmasking the greatest scene of ini quity Which has ever stained the annals of any country, and tainted With unextinisheble di sgrace names w i t h, w hi c h neither honour nor honesty can ever again be coupled.-4 Morning Herald. Mr. Hume, nothing daunted, began last night to erect the, scaffolding for his Parliamentary edifice during the present. Session. lie gave several notices of future mo tions; anti among them, one which must surely have pro duced a singular effect upon the House when he read it, although we do not observe any mention of it in the re port of : what took place. The purport of it was us fol lows :—" A Return of all Officers, who had sold out on the Half Pay ; and of all those who had been appointed in their stead since the last Returns; also, al account of the sums of money received for those Commissions, and how thotie mums were appropriated !" There is an old proverb, which says, we should not mention a rope in the family of a man who has been hanged.— What could induce Mr. Hume to draw the atten tion of the House to " selling out," and 'to the mode of " appropriating" certain " sums of money ?" We should as soon' have expected to hear him call upon the Christian States of Europe to break " the Bonds of Greece," and invoke their aid to " pay back, with interest," upon the Turks, the grievous wrongs she has suffered at their hands. By an easy transition from those topics the Hon. Member passed to a discourse about himself, and alluded to the undignified subject of the malice and rancour, Which some members of the press exhibited,. in feeding the public with calumnies respecting Mtn, Which, however," he Added, "in a short time would be cleared up." We rejoice to. hear this ; but, at the same time, we laMent to think he should have so long neglected to clear up those said calumnies. However, better late than never. The Hon. Member also adverted to a statement, made by ourselves; that when he rose to, address the house on Tuesday, certain symptoms of impatience were manifested. Mr. lime did not exactly deny that such was the feet, but he contended, that he said all he intended to say, on the occa sion. This we do not dispute; for a serene ----orator, like Mr. Hume, self-satisfied, and self-supported, has only to com mand his own attention when he cannot - fix that of others —convert what should be a speech into a soliloquy—and aw get rid of all he wishes.. The appeal, however, which the Honourable Member subsequently made to the pre. tection of the Chair, and to the edortesy of the House, as well as the repetition of his concluding sentence on Tuesday night (which had it been heard then, need not have been repeated now), incline us to think that our information upon the subject was tolerably correct. 7 -New Times. Mr. flume alluded last night in the 'Tense, - to !he malice and inveterate rancour with which he had been pursued by a portion of the Press; Our contemporary, The Globe, re marked at the commencement of this' persecution, that though Mr. Hum was clearly entitled to recover from the t heel; Deputiei the loss:which their misconduct had caused him, yet it would have been better, perhaps, to put up with the loss, as the greater the services of any man to the • public, the greater were its expectations from him • and the more it was dispos e d to resent nay part of his conduct,' which might fall short el these expectations. These obser vations (goer contemporary display no slight knowledge of the springs of human action. A man must have been a very negligent observer, who has not frequently seen, in ordinary, life, that a series of services' and kind actions performed by one man• to another, leads the party, bene fited only to rise in his expectations . from the same quarter; and the refusal to indulge these expectations is not only sup posed tojustify the ceasing, to entertain grateful feelings,but tojustify feelings of resentment. We must take human nature as it is, and as the tiger has, for the wisest purposes, received its untameable ferocity from the same source which has given to the dog the fidelity that leads him to lick the bend that beats him to the earth, in must suppose that the dis-: position to ingratitude, which seems so general in man kind, is equally in the scheme of Providence. Men' may deceive themselves with the idea, that in dedicating their days and their nights to the good of their fellow creatures they will live for ever in their grateful recollections. On the contrary, the vision of those, so benefitted, • will be only the more sharpened to discover imperfections, and were it only for the love of variety, they will pass over the misdeeds of real enemies to fasten 'on the foibles of friends. Whoever calculates on any other reward for his services to his fellow-creatures, than the approbation of a good conseience, and the inward satisfaction which the conecientious discharge of dutY''always gives, will assn... redly'experience di sa pp o i n t men t.

EXECUTIONS TO;MORIiOW. On Sunday the six wretched men who are ordered for execution on Wednesday next, attended divine service in the Chapel of Nevvgate, when the Ordinary, the Rev.

Some of the other prisoners, particularly the females, were deeply at fected. It is understood that three of the condemned tnewassert their innocence of the crimes of which they were convicted, namely, King and Robinson ! , for aueault ing• and robbing the beadle of the Episcopal Chapel, at Bethnal-green, and Boyce, for committing in that neigh. bourhood the like offence, upon Mr. Fuller, a surgeon ; he was also convicted on another indictment for h►ghway robbery..
